Have you considered a test double? What kind of service is "Foo". What protocol does it implement? | |

Please clarify. Is it impossible to get a third kind of error because the proxy just doesn't issue any? Then you can mock the proxy and substitute one that does issue it. Or is it because Constants has only these two values? Then maybe the question should be titled "How do I test unreachable code?"

When proxy is a third party service, can you replace it by some mock service, maybe by configuration? That would be a seem for testing. If not, I think "mistake in the requirements" describes it well.
